Yoest urged Pro-lifers to keep the faith despite the road blocks which seem to loom ahead:
"US News and World Report noted the surge in comments and observed:
But the volume of comments also shows that the pro-life movement is very much engaged right now and can be quickly activated.That's encouraging!
Of course, a realist must acknowledge that no one really knows what the ground game will look like once we begin confronting an administration so radical that its leader, President-elect Obama, could not bring himself to vote to protect babies born alive after abortion. And he is unwaveringly supported by the current leader of the world's largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood and its President Cecile Richards, who was the deputy chief of staff to the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi only three years ago.
Even so -- even so! -- I remain hopeful.
I have on my fireplace mantle a copy of the classic work, Streams in the Desert, which belonged to my grandparents. The entry to be read each January 6 addresses the perennial question of uncertainty and recounts the example of the self-opening gate:
There is a self-opening gate which is sometimes used in country roads. It stands fast and firm across the road as a traveler approaches it. If he stops before he gets to it, it will not open. But if he will drive right at it, his wagon wheels press the springs below the roadway, and the gate swings back to let him through. He must push right on at the closed gate, or it will continue to be closed.The author, Lettie Cowman, sums up by saying "This illustrates the way to pass every barrier on the road of duty."
Duty is an old-fashioned word, rarely heard today. But we believe that it is indeed our duty -- and a high calling -- to stand against those who would promote the Culture of Death with every last resource that God grants us, regardless of the barriers that block the road ahead."
The signatures have continued rising -- even over the Christmas holiday!
